Hello Everyone!
So it's 1:43AM Sat morning. And I'm awake. Why you ask? Well, I don't have an answer for you. All I know is that I have tech tomorrow and instead of sleeping, I somehow am writing a blog. Apparently I was hoping this would help my eyes get tired and help me get to sleep faster. So, what to write about?
Today was an O.K. day. I went to reagle. Same stressful day at the workshop I guess. It's days like this one that remind me as to why I don't go everyday and choose Cincotta's over Reagle. Yes reagle can be fun, and usually is. But it also comes with it's annoyances and stresses. But oh well, the day is over and everyone has their health. I guess it's time to roll onto another day and see what time will bring.
I think blogs are good and everyone should write in 'em. They help clear the mind. Ease the stress. Just sit down and start typing away. Usually then everything will come out into the open and out of your mind, relieving you of your stresses (even one's you may not of known existed). I don't know, for me, it just helps. So if your stressed, write a blog. Shit, maybe you don't want to do it online. Then pickup that pen and paper and write something.
So onto movies. The last movie I saw was Batman. One word to sum it up: Sick. It was just unbelievably phenomenal. Also, my bro got "The King of Queens" Season 1 box. So I've been religiously watching that. Funny, funny, funny.
But anywho, this actually worked out and did what it was supposed to do. It cleared my mind and also got my eyelids a little heavy. So see ya later people and thank you for reading!

Hey Movie Goers!
So I watched "In the Valley of Elah" the other day. Again, another HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I was a little off my facts though before. It wasn't about a kidnapping, it was about a murder. It keeps your interest and Tommy Lee Jones doesn't let you down as usual. Charlize Theron was also a nice addition to this movie and her character worked very well with Jones'. This movie was another reminder to me that Jones is a great actor and i can't wait to see "No Country for Old Men" which i still haven't seen.
I don't think I will make it to the movies tonight. Oh well.
Just a reminder, if you have any comments or reviews of any movies, posted or not, write in a comment or email me at Jpdude378@aol.com and i'll post em.
Thanks for stoppin by and come back soon for more posts!

Hello Everyone!
I just finished watching "Breach". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED It was a great movie. Based on the true story of the worst spy in American history, Robert Hanssen. Chris Cooper, who plays Hanssen, plays opposite Ryan Phillipe who is the undercover agent to bring down Hanssen. Both were great and both added a lot to the movie. The movie was quick and to the point. It didn't drag on with useless information and always kept you interested. It took place 2 months before the actual take down so they didn't bore the audience with long drawn out scenes. lol
Hopefully I'll get to watch "In the Valley of Alah" this afternoon. Ill letcha know. lol
Thanks for stoppin' by and check back soon!

Hello All!
So I haven't written for a while. So got's some catchin' up to do. lol
First things first. The academy awards. I was mostly wrong with my predictions. lol but not too shocked at the winners. Although i was shocked about two things. One; why the hell "Transformers" didn't win anything especially for sound, and two; why "The 300" wasn't even nominated for anything. But besides that, things went good i thought in the decisions made.
This past week I finally got to see some movies with my beloved Steph. lol We saw "Vantage Point". I thought this movie was AWESOME! I really did. If you saw it and didn't like it though i could possibly see why. I thought how they produced it was brilliant. it was very different from your usual "assassination-attempt-on-a-president-action" movie. It was good to see that there are people out there willing to make new original movies. lol HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Also, tonight I watched "The Simpson's Movie" for the first time. Not what i expected. Not too impressed. I think i got my hopes up and thought it would of been funnier than it actually was (which i often do lol). I mean it was funny but not just what i expected it to be. i guess you could say i expected more. But i sat through it, so it couldn't of been too bad. lol
I also rented from the Red Box "Breach" and "In the Valley of Elah". Both are supposed to be good. I don't know much around "Breach" yet lol but i think "In the Valley of Elah", Tommy Lee Jones' kid is kidnapped and he sets out to find him. Seems pretty good from what i see in the trailer. I'm a huge fan of Tommy Lee Jones too so that helps. lol I hopefully will get to watch one of them tonight and one tomorrow. We'll see how that works out. By the way, for those who don't know, The Red Box is simply amazing! Rent new releases for only $1. $1 per night. It's really a sweet deal. They're at your local Shaws or Stop&Shop and, for example, if you get a dvd at the Stop&Shop in Watertown you can totally return it at the Shaws on lexington st if you want. Any Red Box. lol Now here's the cool thing. You can go online to www.redbox.com and sign up. You can look up available dvds at each place and see whats in. then put in your info. and you can pick up your dvd later on. it like saves it for you. Plus when you first sign up, they give you a free rental! Its worth it, i think. lol
But anywho, I haven't been to Hollywood Video lately so i don't know what type of sales are going on there. I'll have to check that out soon though. lol Me and Steph hopefully are goin to be able to make it to the movies again this tuesday night! She wants to see "The Other Boelyn Girl". I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for stoppin' in, check back soon for more!

Hello Everyone!
Some updates.
Coming out this week (2/22/08):
"Vantage Point". I mentioned this movie a few blogs ago. This looks very good. I'm excited to see it.
"Witless Protection". I'm not sure how i will like this. i might wait until it comes out on dvd. I'm not a huge fan of larry the cable guy's movies. "Delta Farce" didn't do anything for me. lol it had its moments but nothing too hilarious. I saw it once and won't care if i see it again. But i will be proven wrong for this one.
Something worth mentioning. Will Ferrell stars in "Semi-Pro". That has a release date of 2/29/08. It looks funny. It seems like a "Anchorman" type movie, Will Farrells common role it seems. But looks funny. I'm still not sure if i will see it at the cinema. this one might have to wait til it comes out on dvd. but we will see.
Also, "10,000B.c." I haven't seen enough to really knows whats goin' on. It does seem like a good movie. it looks like it will be action-packed and will be keeping people's interest.
Again, I'm hopin' to make it to the movies on tues night. It seems like this wk i will be able to. I'm not sure yet what i'll be seein but i'll be sure to fill yaz in and give you guys a review.
Thanks for stopping by and check back soon for updates!

Hello!
I was surfin' IMDB again. Came across Johnny Depp. He's in 5 movies that are in production coming in 2009. Two of which are rumored that he's in Sin City 2 and 3. Another movie, he is playing the roll of John Dillinger. The "Jackrabbit" as he was called, Dillinger was a bank robber in, i believe the 30s, stealing a total of about $300,000. An extraordinary amount in that time era known at the "Public Enemy", also the name of the movie. Looks good. Unfortunately, no say for another Pirates but i'll see if there are any rumors of that and let you know.
Thanks for stoppin' by. Come back and spread the word!

So, even though most of those are my choices that I think should win, I think i made some good choices. I also think though that "Atonement" will get some of them. I just didn't like that movie at all. But maybe it's just because i dont like those movies. Ive talked to others and they love it.
We shall see. Thanks for stoppin' by. Hope your enjoying the pics/jokes. Theres more coming. Come again!

So, even though most of those are my choices that I think should win, I think i made some good choices. I also think though that "Atonement" will get some of them. I just didn't like that movie at all. But maybe it's just because i dont like those movies. Ive talked to others and they love it.
We shall see. Thanks for stoppin' by. Hope your enjoying the pics/jokes. Theres more coming. Come again!

Hello all!
So unfortunately i didnt get to the movies tonight :( Kinda saddened by it, but with homework and work, what can ya do? O well. I'm hoping for next tues! lol
However, i did see a preview to a movie called "Vantage Point". It stars Dennis Quaid and Matt Fox. It looks pretty good. It's a assassination attempt on the president but something else is happening at the same time. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0443274/trailers-me706536451) Check out the trailer, looks pretty interesting. That has a release date of Feb. 22.
More to come later, check back in. Thanks for stopping by.

Super Bowl XLII
Unfortunatly, the Pats lost. All i can say is we fought a good fight but came up short. We'll be back next year to give it another try. I'll be there rootin em on. I can't wait until i see those fair-weathered fans talkin shit about the team. That shows who the real fans are. Its understanding to be a little bit upset right now but if you're talking smack about your home team now, while all season you were cheering em on because they were winning, go find another team to cheer for because it's obvious your one of those fair-weathered fans and not a true, genuine New England Patriots Fan. But i can guarantee one thing...you won't find a better team to cheer for.
Thanks for stoppin' by and don't forget to check back in.
-Justin
P.S. Spread the word and tell those fair-weathered fans off! lol

Check back soon!

Three Blondes on An Island
Three blonds are on an island and they find a lamp, rub it, and a genie pops out. He says he’ll give each of them one wish.
The first blond says “I wish I were twice as smart as I am now so I can figure out a way off this island.”
The genie turns her into a redhead, she builds a raft, and floats off the island.
The second blond says “I wish I were ten times as smart as I am now, so I can figure out a way off this island.”
The genie turns her into a brunette, she builds a plane, and flies off the island.
The third blond says “I wish I were a hundred times as smart as I am now, so I can figure a way off this island.”
The genie turns her into a man and he takes the bridge.

A Trip To France
Thought this would be funny. lol I sure laughed hahaha.
A group of Americans, retired teachers, recently went to France on a tour. Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
’You have been to France before, monsieur?’ the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
‘Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.’
The American said, ‘The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.’
‘Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!’
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. ‘Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in ‘44 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find any Frenchmen to show it to.’

Hey guys and gals!
I got my movies in the other day. I've now watched Brian Regan's Standing Up like 5 times and it gets funnier and funnier. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Hysterical! Brilliant! He definetly keeps you laughing the ENTIRE time. Plus the bonus features are pretty good. There is a half-hour Comedy Central Presents episode and also an encore presentation that is like 15mins or so. Great! lol
I'm settling down now to watch the famous "Apollo 13". Another great flick. Even though you know how it ends, it still keeps you interested.
I'm not sure if I'm going to make it to the movies this Tuesday but we'll see. I'll letcha know.
Thanks for stopping by.

Movie Blog 3
Hello All! It's been awhile but i have some down time so i thought i would post.
Ive seen some movies the past few weeks.
First was "Atonement". I was kinda forced into going. It SUCKED lol. It didnt have that great of plot, it skipped around alot (i believe the last 30mins was a flashback and of those 30mins, 10 of them were just an imagination of the so-called main character). It was just, i think, a bad movie. It was a long two hours. I was ready to go once those credits came up lol. so, that ranks up as my #2 worst movie ever seen following closely behind "Open Waters".
I rented "The Heartbreak Kid". I would give it a strong 4 stars. Ben Stiller is his usual funny self. After marrying his "true love" he finds out his newlywed wife is not what she seemed. It's really funny. His father makes appearances in the movie, playing his father. He too is hysterical. Funny. I would definetly recommend it. I think more of a renter than a buyer but its def. worth seeing.
Me and Steph headed out to the movies last night. **Reminder** $5 movies Tuesday at Woburn Cinema!!!!! This week we saw "Untraceable". The critics gave it a bad review with only 1 1/2 Stars, some mixed-bags. All i got to say about that, BOGUS! lol It was a pretty good movie. I would rate it at a high 3-low 4 star rating. its a movie that you could wait to rent but, as with any movie, the theaters put a different edge on it. Its a pretty good crime mystery movie and they keep it flowing. The ending is very action packed, and it seemed to kind of end with a cliff-hanger. Maybe a sequel is in mind? Possibly. But i doubt it. These movies tend to not have sequels and if they do theyre usually not that good anyway. Anywho, good movie, def. recommend it.
I finally got "Dumb and Dumber" on DVD. for some reason i couldnt find it anywhere on dvd. but i found it. got it at Hollywood video for $7. I just went on sat. and they didnt have that good of a selection like they usually do. The deals this wk were 2 for $20, 4 for $20 (dif movies) and theyre usual 3 for $18. Good deals. I usally go in there and spend like 60 bucks but not this time. They didnt have a good selection (most of the movies i already have lol). However later that night i hopped onto amazon.com and looked at their dvd listings. They had on special: "Forrest Gump" 2-disc special limited edition set for $4.99 and "Saving Private Ryan" Limited Ed. set for $4.99 also. Of course i picked those up. I also got "Transformers" for $10 off amazon and "Brian Regan: Standing Up". In fact, now that i think of it, those are all coming TODAY! lol sweet! I'll be headin over to hollywood video next wknd if not this wknd to check out new deals.
Movies coming out that i want to see: "Strange Wilderness" (Coming out Feb 1st!). Looks HYSTERICAL. Steve Zahn is the lead. They're out shooting animal documentaries like you would see on discovery or animal planet. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0489282/). Also appearing in is Jonah Hill, Seth in "SuperBad". It looks like he'll have us laughing and putting on his usual performance. Justin Long, from "Waiting" and "Dodgeball" also is in it and he looks like he will bring some laughs to the film as well. Please check out the trailer to the movie. After seeing that Jonah Hill was in it, i looked to see if he was making new films. He is indeed. He is coming out in a new movie coming out this year co-starring with Jason Segal (the guy who was hittin on Katherin Heigels sister in "Knocked up"). Its called "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". It should be coming out in April. Also appearing in the movie is Paul Rudd ("Knocked Up") and Bill Hader (cop from "SuperBad"). In fact Jason Segal (Co-Star) wrote it. Same guys that brought "40 Year old Virgin" and "Knocked Up".
Other movies coming out soon, "88 Minutes" starring none other than Al Pacino. Another Crime drama coming out in April. Al Pacino is being framed for a murder. Looks GREAT! another Pacino great. Cant wait! (http://imdb.com/title/tt0411061/).
Other movies worth just mentioning coming soon: "Over Her Dead Body" (Feb. 1) starring Eva Longoria and Paul Rudd.
Movies out now that i want to check out: "Meet the Spartans", the newly redone "Rambo", "Cloverfield", "The Bucket List", "National Treasure 2", "No country for old men", "I am Legend" and believe it or not "Mad Money". If anyones seen any of these let me know how they were and if it's worth seeing.
Check back from time to time. Im hoping that Tuesdays ill get to see a new movie every week. Hopefully! lol If not, ill keep you informed about new releases and/or deals. Thanks for stoppin in.
